Legend of the Three Madnesses (9)

　　"Extinct Star Cluster…"

　　Kurumi looked at the corner of a distant star, feeling surprised.

　　There were more than fifty miniature stars in sight, she didn't know how far away they were, their gravity seemed to shatter the balance of the galaxy.

　　The atmosphere on earth was torn apart, and the true cosmic environment was revealed. Maybe half of the people in the world saw this scene.

Kurumi asked somewhat incomprehensibly: "What the hell, what kind of monster!?"

　　"The Extinct Star Cluster consists of a main star and more than fifty artificial stars with the same properties as the main star." Ryota's voice came back: "They can all multiply indefinitely through devouring, and they are a group of greedy super stars. On the first day of the reign, the Extinct Star Cluster consumed more than 500 galaxies and became a disaster that spread across the universe. Ordinary stars are like insects in front of him."

　　If scale is ignored, it's just a creature. But no one can ignore that scale.

　　When you see the tip of the iceberg, you will lose all courage to fight back.

　　It was no longer a monster that a natural disaster could describe.

　　"It came so fast..."

　　Ryota shook his head, his voice low and frightening: "This world is hopeless."

　　"Why..." Kurumi was stunned on the spot, and confused.

　　There were still screams and wails from all around.

　　The arrival of the evil god opened a gap in the world, and the monsters that originated from day one continued to pour into the world.

　　They seemed to want to kill and indulge in the pleasures of reckless destruction before the Extinct Star Cluster devours this planet.

　　Dualism of Good and Evil...

　　Evil is raging, but good does not exist against it in this universe.

　　Destruction is inevitable.

　　Kurumi knelt on the ground, and the screams around her continued to reverberate, slowly numbing her.

　　All of this is her fault, and powerless to stop...

　　Guilt and regret made her heart on the verge of breaking.

　　"Now is not the time to be discouraged." Suddenly, Ryota said loudly: "Let's go, Kurumi, our plan continues."

　　Although his voice was deep, no other emotions were revealed. Even in the face of disasters like doomsday and opponents that are impossible to beat, Ryota still looks that way.

　　He might lose everything and not care about anything anymore.

　　"Continue..."

　　Kurumi, who was kneeling on the ground, glanced at Ryota, then looked away, lowered her head, and had no intention of raising it again.

　　Continue?

　　How is it possible to proceed.

　　The Extinct Star Cluster had appeared, but she hadn't even gathered her soul force yet, how could she continue?

　　So what if Ming Hong was saved?

　　The time of the arrival of the evil god has been determined today, Ryota has never been mature enough to face such a monster.

　　"This world is hopeless..." Kurumi knelt down and sat on the spot: "Sorry..."

　　Blaming herself really overwhelmed her. The psychological pressure that had accumulated over this period of time had finally broken out completely.

　　She had no strength left to fight back.

　　"I've said it before, the root of everything lies in the evil god of the Red Lotus Realm, you don't need to apologize."

　　Ryota reached out and grabbed Kurumi's arm, trying to pull her: "Get up first, Kurumi, our time is limited, plans must be implemented immediately, don't waste your time here."

　　"..."

　　Kurumi did not answer, her eyes numb.

　　Ryota pulled the girl several times, but she didn't respond. This made him frown slightly, and scolded: "Stand up!"

　　Kurumi was pulled by him. It's just that the girl's body faltered, and she completely lost the strength to stand up. She relied on the strength of his hands to support.

　　As long as Ryoya let go, Kurumi would probably fall to the ground.

　　Seeing this, Ryota was stunned. He couldn't help but carefully observe Kurumi's expression.

　　When he saw the loss of expression in the other party's eyes, he suddenly understood.

　　She was completely broken here...

　　Although it is an exaggeration to say this, but this really isn't the time.

　　Ryota can probably guess the reason.

　　Not everyone's heart can be as hard as iron.

　　During this period of time, Kurumi had forced herself to smile and numb herself with the goal of saving the world, so she suppressed the heavy guilt in her heart.

　　Now that this goal was shattered by the sudden disaster, the psychological defenses it had built must crumble as well.

　　Ryota sighed in his heart.

　　Kurumi can't stop here!

　　Forget it, let him be a villain again.

　　Snap--!

　　Ryota's eyes showed hatred and killing intent, and he slapped Kurumi in the face.

　　Kurumi's dull eyes suddenly froze.

　　The severe pain brought her back to her senses: "Ryota...?"

　　"Do you know? Actually, I lied to you."

　　Ryota looked into Kurumi's eyes and said: "Are you right? You are not to blame for all this? Heh… Kurumi, do you really think I do?"

　　"..."

　　"Ming Hong, Kei, Hayasaka, Miyuki… If you didn't tamper with history on your own selfish whims, how could they die at the hands of those bastard cultists?"

　　Ryota roared: "Innocent people died, but you, the culprit survived. Do you think that's fair?"

　　"Sorry..."

　　"Does apologizing work? Stop apologizing, it makes me hurts." Ryota's eyes turned red: "You took everything from me! And what about me? In order to lead you to change history again and save Ming Hong, I have to show kindness to you and lie to you that you are innocent of all this, do you find that strange?"

　　He grabbed Kurumi by the collar and lifted the girl up:n"If conditions permit, I wish I could kill you right now!"

　　"..."

　　Kurumi's face was wet with tears, and she was speechless.

　　Ryota immediately threw her to the ground roughly.

　　"This is all your fault, and you are giving up on yourself here? Do you have the qualifications!?"

　　"...Sorry..."

　　"I said stop apologizing, it's disgusting."

　　Ryota walked up to Kurumi: "Now, I will give you a chance to right all wrongs. If you still have a bit of conscience, stand up!"

　　"..."

　　Kurumi gritted her teeth tightly and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

　　Yes, it's all her fault.

　　She was not qualified to give up on herself here, to collapse here.

　　"Sorry... really... sorry..."

　　Kurumi slowly stood up.

　　Although her eye sockets were still red, they could be perceived as a bit of energy: "Ryota, I… what else can I do?"

　　"The plan remains the same, you still change history, but the details have to change."

　　Ryota said: "This world is indeed hopeless. The only way to save the world now is to have it non-existent in the first place."

　　"...There isn't any?"

　　"Yes! Nothing, let the current history be lost!"

　　Ryota explained: "Even if your soul power isn't enough to travel back in time, one week, it would be fine, right? You can travel back in time, then find yourself, tell her everything about the present and help her become a psyker earlier. In this way, history will change, but your memory will not. You can repeat the behavior back in time and tamper with history, and continue pushing time when you complete the third stage. Then start from the past to gather soul power. In this way, you will definitely be able to accumulate enough soul power to return and save Ming Hong before today. "

　　"But..."

　　Kurumi understood it, and asked a question: "Even if I save Ming Hong and let her meet you in this era, you still won't have time to grow up."

　　She pointed at the Extinct Star Cluster visible in the sky: "The evil god's arrival is scheduled for today."

　　"Don't you see what I mean?"

　　Ryota reminded: "I said, let history now be lost. So after you go back in time and save Ming Hong, you don't need to lie to history, just tell me what happened to me back then. "

　　"..."

　　Kurumi's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe it. Her emotions became intense: "Ryota! Do you know what you're talking about? After I do this, you will…"

　　"Will be lost."

　　Ryota spoke for hee, and sighed: "But it's the only way, and I'm ready for it."

　　"You..."

　　Kurumi almost collapsed, and the tears that had just been wiped down immediately fell: "Do you want me to kill you again… This is too much…"

　　"This is a mistake you made, and you must take responsibility to the end!"

　　Ryota said in a very loud tone.

　　Now if he didn't act decisively and corrupt Kurumi morally… this girl might faint before finishing everything.

　　Even though Ryota felt sorry for her, he had to do this.

　　"Your statement is truly shameless! I am wrong!" Suddenly, Kurumi found something to deny: "No, your plan won't work! Because I just recovered consciousness in this world three weeks ago. Even if I go back three weeks and help me activate my spiritual power at that time, it will take at least one week to reach the third stage. So I only have two more weeks to gather soul power, two weeks… I can't do it, there's too little time."

　　"Then go back to the previous time and collect them," said Ryota.

　　"That still doesn't work. Even my previous experience was different from mine. Even if she could reach the third stage, what she would form would only be another type of domain. At that time, there will be no eye watch. There is no way to gather soul power."

　　Kurumi shook her head: "Also, think about it, even if I save Ming Hong and tell you the truth about the past, you will still have less than a year to grow up. One year, can you really beat a monster like the Extinct Star Cluster?"

　　"..."

　　Ryota fell silent.

　　Of course, it was impossible to grow that far in less than a year.

　　Even if time progressed, telling him the truth when he had just obtained the Ming Hong Sword would still be a waste.

　　It takes several months just to gather the emotions from each bridge, plus the time needed to refine the mind… Even if he uses a rocket, it's impossible to reach the [Master of War] stage within 3 years.

　　But it's always hope.

　　Now, that hope is gone.

　　"It seems..."

　　Ryota suddenly looked at the Ming Hong Sword in his hand.

　　Touching the familiar bloody sword, his eyes became complicated, and he muttered: "That's the only way."

　　At this moment he made a decision.

　　At the same time, sadness appeared in his eyes.

　　"Any solution?"

　　Kurumi asked slightly nervously.

　　When Ryota was about to answer it.

　　Suddenly there was an explosion in the distance.

　　A deafening roar caught the attention of the two of them.

　　Kurumi looked in that direction, her expression suddenly frozen: "The shelter!? Not good!"

　　Immediately, she rushed in that direction. Because her mother is in the shelter.

　　"Wait! Do not go...!"

　　Ryota immediately wanted to restrain Kurumi.

　　Through his keen emotional perception, he sensed that a great hatred was surging towards the direction where the explosive sound had come from.

　　This degree of malice completely surpassed that of a top cultist whose strength was equivalent to that of the third stage!

　　Ryota quickly chased after her.

　　Kurumi must not have an accident!

　　...

　　When Ryota, who had entered Kurumi's body, reacted, the scene before him had changed. Soon after, a strong pain came.

　　Ryota couldn't hold back a painful snort… No, Kurumi was the one who made that sound.

　　Kurumi looked down at her stomach, where there was a bloody wound that was continuously bleeding.

　　An inexplicable power was raging in the wound, hindering the wound's healing with soul power.

　　Kurumi felt that the pain seemed to have drained all strength from her body, and she clenched her teeth tightly to relieve it.

　　"You have got up."

　　At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

　　Kurumi looked ahead.

　　In the crumbling ruins supported by ice, she saw Ryota's figure.

　　Ryota was sitting on the ground, there was a shockingly large hole in his chest, flesh and blood around the edges completely scorched, it looked like he could barely maintain his human form.

　　And like himself, special powers impede recovery from injuries.

　　Ryota doesn't seem surprised to die at any moment.

　　Kurumi was dumbfounded, and that memory suddenly appeared in her mind.

　　Monsters descended from the sky and attacked the shelter.

　　When she and Ryota arrived, they saw ruins mixed with charred flesh and blood.

　　Realizing what happened, she went mad and attacked the monster.

　　The result is the present tragedy.

　　She couldn't even withstand the opponent's attack. If it wasn't for Ryota standing in the front and holding the main attack for her, she might...

　　Also, mom has...

　　Kurumi suddenly hugged her head and cried.

　　Why...

　　If this was punishment for destroying history... that would be too much!

　　Really...too much!

　　In the end, she failed to protect anything, but destroyed everything with her own hands.

　　"...Kurumi..."

　　"...Kurumi..."

　　"Kurumi."

　　Suddenly, there was a force stroking the head.

　　Kurumi managed to recover, and looked up.

　　Ryota approached her with his body about to fall, and covered her head with his right hand.

　　"It's okay, we still have a chance, your strength can definitely save everyone."

　　"I'm sorry...Ryota, I'm sorry...I hurt you like this...I..."

　　Kurumi's red eyes, which had been crying for a long time, continued to well up with tears again.

　　"Stupid, you are the one who is hurt the most now."

　　Ryota barely withdrew his strength and hugged the girl: "It's okay, believe me, you can save everyone."

　　"No way, we have a chance... There's nothing we can do! This is all my fault..."

　　Kurumi was crying.

　　"Yeah, cough...!"

　　After Ryota coughed heavily, he reluctantly said: "We have one last option."
